It is eminently fair and for the most part, accurate. I think any inaccuracies could be attributable to unfamiliarity rather than bias. If this reviewer hadn't been what I would call a 'Power-user', and had instead been someone converting from Windows, not only would they probably not have had a successful install, but would have an article that Microsoft would probably have printed in full page ads throughout the world.

[opensuse] ntp and wireless

by Roger Oberholtzer

I have a laptop that uses wireless controlled by Network Manager. (11.2 RC1 - and it seems to be working again!) If I want to keep time in sync with ntp, it seems that the network must be up when booting. Which is not the case with Network Manager. How does one get ntp working when using Network Manager. I suspect there are other network services that do not function. But I am interested specifically in ntp. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Practicalities of IPv6 - tc does not have IPv6 support?

by Per Jessen

According to http://lartc.org/howto, tc (traffic control) does not yet support ipv6 filtering. This has the potential to be a significant problem. I use tc/wondershaper to reserve upstream bandwidth for VoIP, but I guess I won't be having enough IPv6 traffic (for a while) for it to cause a real problem. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (12.6°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Is 10.3 Officially DEAD -- or has there been a massive repo failure?

by David C. Rankin

Listmates, I suspect that the 10.3 repositories have been deleted with 10.3 reaching EOL, but I thought I would get the official word. So what's the story? Are the 10.3 build service repositories gone for good or have they been moved to another location in the old repositories directory like 9.3-10.2? The error on refresh that makes me curious is: 13:26 alchemy:~> grep "Skipping\|invalid" repo-error-10.3.txt Repository 'openSUSE BuildService - KDE:Community' is invalid.

[opensuse] Help - Where is the font mapped to monospace in 11.0/KDE4??

by David C. Rankin

Guys, I'm out of ideas. I installed a font in kde4 and it replaced my normal monospace font. I have looked all over trying to find out where the mapping of the actual font to monospace is done and I can't find it. I have found longs of things that map Korean, fonts to XYZ, etc.. but not the actual place where the mapping of font X into the monospace label is done. I've tried with locate, find, grep you name it, but still no joy. I've checked: /usr/share/kde4/.. /usr/share/font-config /usr/share/font /etc/font /etc/sysconfig/font and probably some other places I can't recall, but I'm still stumped. Anybody know where this mapping is made? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] Sound on 11.1

by ka1ifq

I had an HD crash so I decided that I would install 11.1 x 64 on my system. I have not had problems with sound until now, not sure how to proceed. System is a Dell C521 w/Amd-64 cpu, 6g ram. Os is 11.1 with w/updates, KDE Version 4.1.3 (KDE 4.1.3) "release 4.10.4", Sound is listed as MCP51 High Defination Audio (I believe its an intel audio chip). Any ideas on where or what to do?

[opensuse] ssh problem in opensuse 11.1

by Istvan Gabor

Hello list members: I have a problem using ssh in opensuse 11.1. The latest kernel is installed: 2.6.27.37-0.1-default. The symptom is: when I run ssh I don't get any response or error message. I have to kill ssh with ctrl-c. Eg.: > ssh -l username target.machine.address Nothing happens, neither connection occurs nor error message is given. I can ssh to the same machine (ie. target.machine.address) from opensuse 10.3 with the same command. How could I diagnose this? What can be the problem?

[opensuse] Will Beagle be Regd on 11.2 or will Strigi take its Place

by David C. Rankin

Guys, Will we still have beagle on 11.2 or will strigi take it's place? Currently the kde4 help system isn't working on my box, because I got rid of beagle (or at least that's that I think is the problem with the help system). That prompted the question, "What index/search backend will 11.2 utilize for kde4 help/etc...?" Still beagle? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] where to place the library glib

by Maura Monville

I am brushing up my C coding capability ... if any (???) I started up with a stand-alone simple program (see attachment) hich I compile through one simple command line. The compiler cannot resolve the include statement about elements that belong to glib, no matter how I reshuffle such statements (error messages pasted at the bottom of this message). Since an assistant professor and I installed the glib in such a way as to make the undocumented code, developed by a student who left some months ago, work somehow ... I am afraid we messed up the glib installation so that instead of having its pieces stored in the standard system files its pieces were spread elsewhere therefore the gcc compiler cannot find them. My question is: where is the glib expected to be installed by default (as gcc expects) ? How can I make up for the mess we did ? I mean, shall I un-install glib (how) and then reinstall it again following the standard pathway ?

[opensuse] 11.2 nvidia drivers

Will 11.2 have a Nvidia repository? I have RC2 KDE live running from a USB stick and no Nvidia repo shows. Yast doesn't show anything about screen resolution either and I'm stuck at 800x600 using sax2. Everything else looks excellent. Thanks.
